Salve regina 'Diversi diversa orant'

'Hauntingly beautiful music … A most rewarding experience' (Organists' Review)'This is vocal chamber music of a high order—secure in tuning, varied in sonority and elegant in phrasing' (Early Music)» More

Hail queen of mercy, hail our sweetness and hope. To you we call, exiled sons of Eve. To you we sigh, groaning and weeping in this vale of tears. Look then, our advocate, turn those merciful eyes of yours to us. And after this exile show to us Jesus, blessed fruit of your womb. O merciful, O holy, O sweet virgin Mary.

Blessed mother and unmarried virgin, glorious queen of the world, intercede for us to the Lord our God, O sweet Mary.

You, Mary, are unviolated, whole and chaste, you have been made the shining gate of heaven. O sweet and most beloved mother of Christ. Receive the pious offering of praises. That our hearts and bodies may be pure: devoted hearts and mouths now beseech you.

Through the things you have prayed for you are most sweet. Give us pardon through the ages. O kind one! O queen! O Mary! You have alone remained inviolate.

You who are an enclosed garden, mother of God, chosen source, arise, make haste, my friend. O sweet Mary.

Sweet mother of the redeemer, who remain the gate of entry to heaven, and the star of the sea, give strength to the falling to rise as one who cares for the people. You who have given birth, as nature looked in wonder, to your holy progenitor, virgin before and after, when Gabriel heard from your mouth that ‘Hail’, have pity on sinners.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. O sweet Mary.
